Doddanapudi : , Jan 17 (IANS) In a distressing development for Andhra Pradesh, several Anglican schools, which did decades long yeoman service in taking free education to the most oppressed sections of the society, have shut down over the years.
Even as these schools shut down one after the other, there was gross inaction and negligence from successive governments of the day and officials who let them suffer a silent death.
Anglican schools closed down in Kalla, Doddanapudi and Yelurupadu in West Godavari district and Takkellapadu village in Krishna district, including other places whose data was not shared by the Church of South India s (CSI) Krishna-Godavari diocese.

Our Bureau, Bengaluru ITC Royal Bengal organises an event to savour the varied flavours of the âNorthern Circarsâ at Grand Market Pavilion. The event is being held from January 8 to 17, 2021, under the aegis of âKitchens of Indiaâ.
The Northern Circars was a former division of British Indiaâs Madras Presidency, which consisted of a narrow slip of territory lying along the western side of the Bay of Bengal. The region corresponds in the main to the coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh, including the districts of Krishna, East and West Godavari, Vishakhapatnam, Vizayanagaram, Srikakulam, Prakasam and Guntur, as well as Gajapati and Ganjam districts of Odisha. The Northern Circars were governed as part of Madras Presidency until India s independence in 1947, after which the presidency became India s Madras State.
